Mobile Advertising's Gold Rush

November 16, 2009

Analysis by:Gordon Borrell, CEO,

Analysis of:Mobile Advertising Set To Soar | www.mediapost.com

Mobile advertising is definitely the new-new thing, but it sounds like the hype we heard when the Web was born as a graphical interface and banner ads started appearing in 1995. Be careful -- mobile advertising isn't going to produce overnight riches. For proof, look at your own mobile device. Where are they ads? And if you see any, tell me if they're prompting you to buy anything. Timing is everything, so before you jump in, read on.

Hollywood Internet Movie Download Sites - Still Looking for a Business Model

November 6, 2009

Analysis by:Steven Harnsberger, President,

Analysis of:(Hollywood) Industry Slowly Embracing New Media | www.hollywoodreporter.com

Good article - the ugly truth about digital movies on the web is that no stand alone digital video content service makes money today, not CinemaNow (Sonic Nasdaq SNIC), Amazon, Vudu, or BlockBuster. The business model is missing, the revenue share small and the demand absent.Many have tried and failed including: Intertainer, MovieLink, Akimbo, Moviebeam - even CinemaNow was sold because it could not make money. The digital movie business model is broken....

Nvidia leaps into supercomputers

October 5, 2009

Analysis by:Jon Peddie, President,

Analysis of:Nvidia and "Starting the Next Age of Personal Computing" | www.tgdaily.com

Nvidia is in the test of its life with big stakes, big investments, and big risks – Fermi is a hail Mary pass if ever there was one. It’s not as reactionary or impulsive as some have suggested and a plan I think has been in the process for the past three years. Nvidia has been putting the pieces in place for the Fermi product through acquisition, industry initiatives and setting up the platform. One of Jen Hsun Hung’s strengths is his long range vision and I think you can see it at work here.

Coinstar’s Redbox Expands Relationships with Studios

August 31, 2009

Analysis by:James Meyers, Chief Executive Officer ,

Analysis of:Redbox Sues Studio Over Access to Films | online.wsj.com

Redbox’s future will ultimately be affected by a number of variables, starting with whether or not the Universal (NYSE: GE), Fox and Warner Brothers studios succeed in their struggle to create a kiosk release window.

Baidu - Tough times ahead? Probably NOT.

August 28, 2009

Analysis by:Michael Bonfils, President and Worldwide Director,

Analysis of:Baidu -- A Sleeping Giant Awakens | searchenginewatch.com

The article emphasizes the issue's advertisers are having as they change from an old legacy system of Baidu to a new interface that almost mirrors Google. Will this ultimately be a positive or a negative for the Chinese Search engine? How will it affect Google's position in China? In my analysis, I explore some more details left out of the original article.
